Saturday’s event at Seaford High School will benefit Relay for Life By Lynn R. Parks After a St. Patrick’s Day festival to benefit the Western Sussex Relay for Life was cut short due to inclement weather, organizer Harry Brake promised that there would be a makeup event. The Seaford High Relay for Life Flea Market will be Saturday, starting at 7 a.m. “This time, we are prepared in case we get bad weather,” Brake said. The flea market, which will be set up in the front yard of Seaford High School, will be moved inside to the cafeteria if it rains. Also planned in the day’s events is
a Harley-Davidson motorcycle show in front of the high school, starting at 8 a.m. There will be children’s games and face painting, as well as food for sale. Several organizations, including the Western Sussex Relay for Life, will have information available. Six area bands will perform from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the school’s auditorium. Admission to the auditorium will be $2; members of the audience will be able to come and go as they please. A 5K run that was planned for the original day of the festival will be Saturday, June 2. The course will start at the Ross Mansion and will wind
around the Seaford Industrial Park and back to the mansion. People will be able to sign up for the run at Saturday’s flea market. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Western Sussex Relay for Life, which in turn benefits the American Cancer Society. The relay will be held May 18 and 19 at the Mears Campus of Nanticoke Memorial Hospital (see related story, page 3). Reservations for craft and flea market tables are still being accepted. For more information, call Brake, 6294587, ext. 405, or visit the website www.seaford.k12.de.uses/hbrake.

Carlton and Jody Jones stand in front of one of the pastures on their Reliance-area farm. The Joneses raise all-grass-fed beef. Photos by Lynn R. Parks
When cattle eat only grass, consumers, environment win By Lynn R. Parks Carlton Jones slowly walked through his pasture of orchard grass, clover and alfalfa. In one hand he carried a spool of thick wire fencing wire; tucked under his arm he had several white plastic-coated posts, each with a loop to hold wire. Every few feet, he pushed a post into the ground and pulled the wire through the loop. Soon, a new temporary fence stretched across the pasture. Then, post by post, Jones dismantled another temporary fence that he had put up just the day before. He pulled the posts from the ground and wound the wire back up on the spool. Not too far away, about 20 sets of eyes watched every move. The steer that had been confined in one section of the field until the grass there was eaten down to about 3 inches knew that when this project was complete, they would get to move into new pasture, where the tender spring grass was about 7 inches tall. Finally, the way into the fresh pasture was clear. The steer moved in and wasted no time in enjoying their bounty. There was no sound in the field except that of

Relay for Life is half way to $163,000 goal By Lynn R. Parks Organizers of the Western Sussex Relay for Life are already half way to their fund-raising goal. And the relay is more than a week away. Chairwoman Mary Catherine Hopkins said that contributors, many of them corporations, have already donated more than $86,000. The fund-raising goal of the relay, which will be held May 18 and May 19, is $163,000. Despite that good start, Hopkins cannot guarantee that when the relay is over, the final goal will have been met. “I would love to say that we will get there, but I can’t promise,” she said. For the first time, the Western Sussex Relay for Life, during which volunteers walk laps around a track to raise money for the American Cancer Society, will be held at the Mears Campus of Nanticoke Memorial Hospital. In case of rain, the relay will be moved to the parking garage at the Cancer Care Center. In the last several years, the relay has been held in the Cancer Care Center parking garage. “We’ve grown, and it was getting a little bit crowded in there,” Hopkins said. The relay’s stage will be set up along the walkway that connects the two buildings at the Mears Campus. The walking track will be in the parking lot and volunteers will be able to set up camp in the parking lot or on the lawn. “They will be able to have grills, something we have never been able to do,” Hopkins said. There will also be two large tents set up, one to accommodate the silent auction and the other for survivors of cancer. “We are encouraging the survivors to stay longer, so they can participate in the luminary ceremony,” Hopkins said. At the survivors’ reception Thursday, May 17, each survivor will be given a luminary, a small brown bag and a candle, to decorate. The survivors will also get parking passes, enabling them to park in the Mears Campus lot. Additional parking will be available at the Seaford Post Office and at Trinity Transport. Volunteers with the Seaford Kiwanis Club will be on hand to direct people to parking. The theme of this year’s relay is “There’s No Place Like Hope.” Several large wooden shoes, red and glittery, representing Dorothy’s Ruby Slippers from “The Wizard of Oz,” will decorate the walking track. At the end of that classic, Dorothy realizes that “there’s no place like home.” For your information: The Western Sussex Relay for Life will be May 18 and 19 at the Nanticoke Health Services’ Mears Campus, Bridgeville Highway, Seaford. Proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society. To volunteer to help or to participate, call chairwoman Mary Catherine Hopkins, 875-7308. She is also available by e-mail, HYPERLINK "mailto:maryh663@aol.com" maryh663@aol.com.

Bridgeville Commission reviews FY ‘08 budget By Mike McClure The Bridgeville FY’ 08 budget was introduced during the Bridgeville Commission meeting on Monday, May 7. The Commission also recognized the town’s first officer of the quarter during the meeting, which was a week earlier than normal. Commission President Joe Conaway announced that the new budget includes a capital improvement program which will focus on short term (3-5 years) and long term (5-10 years) goals for the town. This is the first time Bridgeville has budgeted for such a program. Town manager Bonnie Walls reported that the town’s projected total income for FY 08 is $2,588,520 and the projected expenditures are $2,511,754 for a total of $76,766 in reserves. Under the proposed budget, the
municipal tax rate will remain the same ($1.73 per hundred of town assessment) as will fees for water and sewer services. The garbage fee will remain the same but is subject to increase in November when the new contract is awarded. The budget includes funds to complete and furnish the public works building which will house new street sweeper and offices for water and street departments. An additional police officer will be hired in January and the water department will begin upgrading older water meters throughout town. The budget will be up for adoption at next month’s meeting. The Commission recognized officer of the quarter Patrolman Robert Jones, Jr. at the beginning of Monday’s meeting. Jones, who was involved in 225 traf-
fic arrests and 82 criminal arrests during the quarter, is Bridgeville’s first officer of the quarter. The Commission voted to award the construction administration and inspection services for the Bridgeville Farm spray irrigation project to Davis, Bowen, and Friedel, Inc. at a cost of $198,644. The town anticipates final approval from state and federal governments for funding for the spray irrigation project. Walls informed the Commission that the town has begun the pre-application process with the Delaware Land and Water Conservation Trust Fund to receive a 50 percent match for a 1,800 foot long and 10 foot wide walking path. The town is asking for $60,000 and is hoping the “river walk” will be paved and lighted. Walls also reported that the town is
considering participating in a recycling program with Delaware Solid Waste Authority. In order to do so the town needs 75 percent participation from it 900 residents. The town is looking at having two pickups per month at a cost of $1 per pickup (per residence). Citizens are asked to fill out a form that will be included in the town’s next newsletter. The town is gearing up for the First Annual Bridgeville Charity Open Golf Tournament at Heritage Shores which will take place on Friday, Oct. 12. Registration will be at 8:30 a.m., there will be a golf clinic at 9 a.m., and a shotgun start at 10 a.m. The tournament will benefit the Bridgeville Kiwanis Foundation, Bridgeville Lions Club, and Bridgeville Senior Center. The cost to participate is $125 with prizes to be awarded.
17th century exhibit opens at Seaford Museum By Anne Nesbitt On Thursday, May 17, at 1 p.m., at the Seaford Museum there will be an official opening ceremony for the exhibit entitled, 17th Century Delaware. This entire exhibit has been in place at the Delaware Public Archives Building in Dover and is being moved to Seaford as part of the John Smith 400th Celebration. The exhibit shows how colonists of the John Smith era lived, worked and how they interacted with the Indian communities. It includes nautical, woodworking and whaling tools used by the Dutch at Zwaanendal. There is an account of how French pirates attacked coastal towns. Also shown are original documents, artifacts and an iron strong box found on the shore of Silver Lake. Of significant local interest is a C1650 watch that belonged to Halmanius F. Wiltbaank, which was left to Herman F. Black who now resides in Seaford and is a member of the Seaford Historical Society. Wiltbaank, who died in 1695 was about
20 years old when he emigrated from Sweden on a Dutch ship, which wrecked in the mouth of the Delaware Bay off Broadkill Beach. By documented information, the watch was in his pocket when he swam ashore. These artifacts will be on display in the Webb Room at the Seaford Museum starting May 17 and will remain during the Riverfest and through July 15. Outside of the Webb Room is a panel measuring four-feet by 10-feet that shows a copy of Captain Smith's detailed map of this area. The map is a gift to the Seaford Historical Society from Jim Blackwell and Spuck Bennett. Experts say that Smith's maps are incredibly accurate, especially since his only tools were a compass and a quadrant used for measuring the sun's angles. While this special exhibit is in place, the Museum will be open from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays, and from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sundays. It will be closed on Mondays and Memorial Day and July 4. The National Geographic's book enti-

Long-time educator wins state civil rights award By Lynn R. Parks Teresa Stevenson always loved school. “When I was a student, I looked forward to every day,” said the 1973 graduate of Laurel High School. “I always wanted to learn. I always knew that I was safe in school, and that good things would happen there.” Stevenson, 53, is still going to school. Now at Paul Lawrence Dunbar School in Laurel, she has been a paraeducator with the Laurel School District for eight years. “I like to think that I am making a difference with the children,” she said. “If I could be in the school 24 hours a day, I would be happy doing that.” Stevenson, Seaford, is a recipient of this year’s Human and Civil Rights Award, presented by the Delaware State Education Association. She was honored at a banquet Thursday at the Rollins Center at Dover Downs, Dover. “It was nice to be recognized for doing the things that I do every day, and that I enjoy doing every day,” Stevenson said. In addition to serving as an aide for kindergarten and first grade, Stevenson also takes her collection of African-American memorabilia, “African-American Reflections,” to school, libraries and public events in the area. Through her collection and through stories and poems she has written, she tells her audience about prominent African-Americans and about racism. She is especially interested in talking to young audiences, she said. “Kids are like sponges. If we plant the seed of acceptance in them, it will grow and grow.” The seed of Stevenson’s activism was a day in her daughter’s third-grade class at West Seaford Elementary School, nearly 20 years ago. “Tiffany came home and told me that her teacher had said that Dr. Martin Luther King was shot because people didn’t like him,” Stevenson said. “I sat her down and said, ‘We need to talk about this.’” Stevenson told her daughter that King was shot because he was pushing for change. “Dr. King fought for everyone. He wanted things to change so we could all be treated the same, and people don’t like change.” Stevenson said that after that incident, “I felt I had a personal commitment to make a difference in my community.” She started researching the lives of prominent African-Americans, including Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Fannie Hamer, Harriet Tub-
Teresa Stevenson
man and Dr. Charles Drew; the details that she learned went into her poetry and into her presentations. The presentations also have included such things as creative dance and fashion shows. In 1992, Stevenson was given an award of excellence by the African-American Historical Society of Delaware. In 2002, she received the Dr. Martin Luther King Award for community service, presented by the annual Western Sussex Martin Luther King Day of Celebration. “I have used my resources to promote public awareness of the major accomplishments of famous African-Americans in a positive way,” Stevenson wrote to the DSEA after she was nominated for the award. “The children need to be aware of the influence that [African-Americans] had in the making of American history. We fought in the wars yet didn’t enjoy the rights other Americans experienced. Housing, schools and career opportunities… were among the freedoms that we didn’t enjoy. “My goal is to make a difference in the lives I touch in a positive way, and encourage all children to live in harmony with each other.” Stevenson said that while much of the overt racism against which King and other civil rights leaders fought is a thing of the past, racism still exists. “It is more subtle, but it is still there,” she said. “We have come so far, but we still have so far to go. I want the world to be a much better place for our children.”

Business Citizens Bank breaks ground with help from Seaford leaders
Trinity Transport open house Trinity Transport, Inc. will host its open house and ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, May 10, at its new facility, formerly the Strikemaster Lanes bowling alley in Seaford. The ribbon cutting ceremony, set to begin at 3 p.m., will feature remarks by Harriet Windsor, Delaware's Secretary of State, and John Hollis, director of the Department of Community Relations for Nemours. The open house will conclude at 8 p.m. Trinity invites its customers, carriers, as well as business community partners and friends to share in the celebration. Tours and refreshments will be provided throughout the afternoon.
Citizens Bank executives, customers, and colleagues joined Seaford Mayor Edward H. Butler and members of Seaford City Council to break ground on the future site of a new Citizens Bank branch in Seaford, Sussex County. The new branch will be located on Rt. 13 and will replace the significantly smaller Citizens Bank branch located in the Seaford Wal-Mart. The stand-alone New In-Branch Citizens Experience (N.I.C.E.), branch is expected to open in the fall of 2007. “Economic development is important in Seaford and across Delaware, and I am very pleased to join Citizens Bank today as they break ground on what will be a new, highly visible branch that will offer more accessible banking services to businesses and consumers,” said The Honorable Edward H. Butler, Mayor of Seaford. Mayor Butler, Vible and members of the Seaford City Council (pictured at right), attended the groundbreaking with Citizens Bank colleagues and customers. The Seaford N.I.C.E. branch will be 3,000-square-feet and feature a colorful, user-friendly design that is much different than the conventional look and feel of a traditional bank branch. It will also include a three-lane driveup, safe deposit boxes and night depository service. The existing Citizens Bank Seaford Wal-Mart, with only 570 square feet, is unable to provide these services.
more state projects, such as the construction of schools and libraries at a very low interest rate, which in turn saves the state and taxpayers money. Secretary of Finance Richard S. Cordrey said, “The Governor and I served together in the General Assembly during the 1970s when our bond rating was at its lowest point in history. Delaware is recognized as one of the best financially managed states in the nation due to the Governor’s leadership in upholding the fiscal controls that we helped develop years ago throughout her tenure.”
Delaware is one of seven to receive Triple A Bond rating from Wall Street
Investment company is barred from doing business in Delaware
Delaware has received the highest possible credit ratings for its anticipated sale of General Obligation Bonds on May 3. This marks the 11th consecutive time that the Triple A bond ratings have been reaffirmed by the three major rating agencies. Delaware has maintained the highest possible rating with all three nationally recognized rating agencies during the entire term of Gov. Minner and since the spring of 2000. Delaware is one of only seven states currently holding this distinction. In 2001, nine states had a Triple A rating from all three credit agencies. Since then, the number has dropped to as low as six and is currently only seven. By achieving the highest rating, the state can finance
An Ohio investment company has been barred from doing business in Delaware and agreed to pay a $15,000 administrative assessment to resolve a complaint. In August 2006, the Department of Insurance began an investigation of Investors Union, LLC of Medina, Ohio doing business as the “Annuity Service Center.” The complaint was based on postcards sent to Delaware residents that directed the recipients to call about “an annuity that has reached the end of its surrender period,” even though the firm that sent the card had no connection with any annuity a resident may have had. “The purpose of the postcard was simply to cause seniors to call the company, which would refer the caller to an insur-

Modern shallop to include GPS and satellite communications By Lynn R. Parks Delaware history books make little mention of Capt. John Smith. But that, director of Delaware Public Archives Russ McCabe told an audience Monday night, does not mean that Smith and the Jamestown, Va., settlement he led did not have a powerful influence on the state. “Our history books pretty much start in 1609, when Henry Hudson explored the Delaware Bay” and claimed land on both its side for Holland, McCabe said. Jamestown was settled in 1607. “But the founding of the Jamestown colony and the expansion of the English up from Virginia is where our history lies,” he added. “That’s the history of our culture and the history of our people. The settlement of most of our state can be traced back to the establishment of that tidewater settlement in Virginia.” So it is entirely appropriate, McCabe said, that the state join with Virginia in celebrating the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown. McCabe’s talk, held at the Methodist Manor House, was the third in a series of talks sponsored by the Seaford Historical Society that focus on Smith and on the commemoration of the 400th anniversary of the Englishman’s exploration of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, including the Nanticoke River. As part of that commemoration, a replica of the shallop Smith used to explore the bay will set off from Jamestown May 12 on a
121-day tour of the same waters Smith explored. The shallop, built by Sultana Projects, a non-profit organization in Chestertown, Md., will be at Phillip’s Landing May 29 and in Blades May 30. The Phillip’s Landing visit will include the dedication of a marker honoring Smith’s trip up the Nanticoke. Historians believe that Smith and his men came into what is now Delaware, nearly to the confluence of Broad Creek and the Nanticoke. The shallop will be on display at the Marine Park in Blades all day May 30. “It is an absolutely gorgeous vessel,” McCabe said. “If a piece of wood can be art, this is art.” Richard Wolfe, Seaford, who is heading up the Blades event, also spoke Monday night. He said that the shallop will have a crew of 12, including five women; Smith had a crew of 14, all of them men. Smith traveled 2,500 miles in two voyages on the Chesapeake; the modern-day crew will travel only 1,500 miles in one voyage. Modern bridges and dams will keep the crew out of much of the water that Smith was able to navigate. The average height of the men’s in Smith’s crew was 5 feet, 4 inches, Wolfe said. The average height of the 21st-century crew is over 6 feet. One man on the crew is 6-foot 8-inches and another is 6foot 4, he added. The modern crew will depend on paper charts of the Chesapeake and its tributaries for guidance. They will also have
a geographic positioning system (GPS) to measure speed and will be hooked up to satellite communications so that interested people can e-mail them with questions. Smith, of course, had no such devices. He had only a log and sketch pad in which to record his journeys and a compass, sextant and time piece to help with navigation. Smith also had no knowledge of the bay’s tides, so he was unable to take advantage of them in helping to move the boat along. The modern-day crew will take full advantage of the tides “so they won’t have to do so much rowing,” Wolfe said. Each oar on the shallop weighs 20 pounds, he added. Despite all the differences, the crews will have one thing in common, Wolfe said. “Just like Smith’s crew 400 years ago, this modern crew will be exposed to sun, wind and bay storms,” he said. “And if you know the bay, you know that those storms can come out of nowhere, very suddenly.”

Del Tech graduation May 15 Marlene Elliott will be the Commencement speaker Delaware Technical & Community College, Jack F. Owens Campus, will hold its 39th annual Commencement on Tuesday, May 15 at 6:30 p.m. on the east lawn of the William A. Carter Partnership Center. Marlene Elliott The distinguished commencement speaker will be Marlene B. Elliott, Delaware/ Maryland Director for USDA Rural Development. Well-known throughout Delmarva for her lifelong career in public service, she was recognized for her dedication, hard work, knowledge, and concern about the issues and needs of rural Americans through a presidential appointment to that position in 2001. A graduate of Delaware Technical & Community College, Elliott began her career of service in 1982 when she joined the staff of the late U.S. Senator William V. Roth Jr., remaining with him as state director until the end of his term. An honorary degree will be presented posthumously to Joshua M. Freeman, former president and CEO of Carl
M. Freeman Associates. Committed to the firm’s mission — helping people live better — he was a community and business leader whose life was based on core values and personal responsibility. Always his wish to leave a legacy of customer service, philanthropy, and value-based actions that inspire others, Freeman did just that after his untimely death in November 2006. Freeman’s wife, Michelle, will accept the award. Ushered seating for commencement will begin at 5 p.m., and a red ticket is required for all guests sitting under the tent. Seats cannot be reserved, and ticket holder seats cannot be guaranteed after 6 p.m. Guests without tickets may sit or stand outside the tent or view the ceremony via live television in room 529 in the Carter Partnership Center. The commencement ceremony will be held rain or shine. In case of severe weather, the decision to implement separate indoor commencement ceremonies will be made by 2:30 p.m. The indoor commencement ceremony information will be announced on local radio and television stations or attendees may call 856-5555. Receptions for the graduates, their families and friends will be held immediately after Commencement.
The John Smith shallop will be joined by a traveling educational exhibit at the Nanticoke River Marine Park in Blades on May 30. The exhibit, which is in a large festival tent (shown above), features a variety of educational exhibits, hands-on activities, and video productions about Captain Smith’s voyages.
Constructed using period materials and techniques, the new shallop will retrace Captain John Smith’s exploration of the Chesapeake Bay in 1608. The shallop will be at the Nanticoke River Marine Park in Blades on May 30 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
2007 shallop is authentic 12 man crew will retrace John Smith’s 1608 expedition Little is known about the small open boat or “shallop” that John Smith used to make his exploration of the Chesapeake in 1608. Most likely, the vessel was built in England and transported to America in the hold of the Susan Constant, the flagship of the Jamestown fleet. Measuring about 30 feet in length, the shallop was too large to travel to America in its final form and thus had to be transported in sections which were reassembled upon arrival in Virginia. The 2007 voyage is employing a fullscale reproduction of Smith’s shallop, built at the Sultana Shipyard in Chestertown, Md. Constructed using period materials and techniques, this new shallop is home to a crew of 12 modern adventures as they attempt to retrace Smith’s expedition. 2007 Shallop Specs • Length Overall: 28 feet, 7 inches • Beam: 7 feet, 8 inches • Framing: Osage Orange • Planking: White Oak • Fastenings: Wooden Nails and Iron Fastenings • Oars: 6 “single banked” oars • Sails: 2 sailed “sprit” rig • Builders: John E.

Health Hidden dangers with medications
Annual Domestic Violence Conference
By Anthony Policastro, M.D
The 11th Annual Advocates' Retreat for domestic violence professionals will be held on May 14 and 15 at Rehoboth Beach's Atlantic Sands Hotel.
I printed an article a few years back that I thought needed some updating. The main reason for that is related to the many new medications that have come onto the market with similar sounding names. For example we have Celebrex. We have Celexa. We have Cerebyx. A prescription for one of these could be misinterpreted. The patient might get the wrong medication. When things sound alike confusion can occur. When things look alike, confusion can occur. The dangers in this are not confined to the pharmacy and the doctor’s office. Similar dangers lie in your home. Medications are often kept in similar containers. The containers are all kept in the same location. The result is that someone may take the wrong medication. You should check the locations of your medication. You should then take action to make sure no two medication bottles that look alike are next to each other in those locations.
Things that look alike can result in serious errors. These errors can be related to safety. Household fluids can create the same kind of problem. I have seen a number of poisonings related to someone who grabbed the wrong bottle of something without looking. This is true when the items are kept in the same bottle they were originally packaged in. It is even more likely when these items have been poured into a different container. You should always think twice before pouring something into a different container. In addition, you should always label containers when you do this.
Dr. Bradley Mackler would like to take this opportunity to express his regrets that Dr. Antos is closing his Seaford practice on July 1, 2007 and to wish him the best in his future endeavors.

Even labeling won’t help if you put them within reach of a child who cannot read. Most school-aged children know enough to stay away from poisons. However, they still cannot read in the early grades. They may mistake a clearly labeled poison for something non-poisonous and drink it. It is best to have these items out of reach. Creams and lotions represent another potential hazard. Some are always safe to apply. Others should only be used in certain circumstances. These two categories of creams should not be kept near each other. I once read a story of someone that had suffered a burn. He went to get some cream to put on it. He accidentally grabbed a cream that contained lye. He made the burn even worse. Things that look alike can result in serious errors. These errors can be related to safety. They can also cause other problems. It is a good idea to look at your home and make sure that you do not have any of these potential problems lurking there.
This year's focus will be on victim safety and batterer accountability. The two-day conference, organized by the Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence, will feature workshop presentations ranging from custody and visitation and PFA enforcement to effective collaboration with law enforcement and financial literacy. As keynote for the first day, Judge Jerry Bowles, a Circuit Court judge from Kentucky, will address custody and visitation matters in domestic violence cases, while Dr. Jacquelyn Campbell of Johns Hopkins University will focus on assessing danger in relationships, on the second day. To learn more about registration and fees contact DCADV at 302-658-2958 or visit www.dcadv.org. The event is open to the public.

Colon cancer can become less of a threat For a few dollars more, we can beat colon cancer and cut medical costs By David A. Johnson, M.D. For less than a dollar a year per employee, U.S. businesses can provide their workers with a simple cancer screening test that could save tens of thousands of lives every year and cut medical costs, too, if widely used. It’s time to make it happen. The issue is colorectal cancer, which kills 52,000 Americans every year - 160 in Delaware - but is highly curable if detected at an early stage. About 90 percent of those who died from this cancer last year would be alive today if they had a screening colonoscopy, which can find pre-cancerous growths and cancerous ones for removal even before symptoms begin. In addition to helping defeat early cancers, this screening enables some patients avoid colon cancer altogether by getting rid of bad cells before they turn into cancer. Standard medical advice suggests routine screening for colon cancer beginning at age 50. But too many Americans don’t do so - often because their company health plan won’t pay - until
they have the symptoms that mean they’re already sick. By then, it’s often too late to be cured and the treatment costs will be enormous. The strain of growing insurance premiums means businesses can’t afford to cover every procedure a doctor might like to perform. But with colorectal screening, cost-benefit analysis should be flashing “buy.” We know that every dollar spent by Medicare for this lifesaving test cuts about $3 in long-term medical costs. That’s a good return on investment in any business - especially when you’re saving lives. And, the added premium costs don’t need to be that great - about eight cents a month per employee in a plan that already pays for a Fecal Occult Blood Test, a less comprehensive cancer screening tool. Fortunately, for those Americans old enough to have Medicare coverage, the federal government has helped pay for colonoscopies since 2001. Because treatment costs are so much lower ($30,000 per patient instead of $120,000 according to the American College of Gastroenterology) when this cancer is caught early, this Medicare-backed screening saves about $2.5 billion annually in medical costs. Right now, Congress is considering The Colon Cancer Screen for Life Act, which would remove barriers to colon cancer screening for Medicare patients. We often com-
plain about government’s ineffectiveness, but in this instance Washington is ahead of the private sector. To be sure, some companies have shown leadership against colon cancer. Health plans at IBM, Olympus and Eli Lilley, for example, already pay 100 percent of the cost of a colonoscopy. Coverage for colon cancer screenings wouldn’t mean new ground for many companies, which already cover mammograms to detect breast cancer and Pap smears to identify cervical cancer at earlier, more treatable stages. Screening for colorectal cancer builds on that model. The general reluctance to provide insurance for colon screening is even more puzzling at a time that American corporations are vigorously expanding programs to promote “wellness” among employees. Private businesses are building employee fitness centers, paying for
health club memberships, supporting programs to fight obesity and smoking, and offering financial incentives to employees to live healthy lifestyles. Paying for colon cancer screening is a logical companion to those efforts. When screening procedures detect colon cancer early, 9 of 10 patients beat the disease. In the absence of screening, colon cancer is usually found too late and most patients die. Those are starkly different outcomes that we have the power to change. For another dollar a year in premiums for each employee, it’s hard to imagine how we can continue to say “no.” Dr. David A. Johnson is the president of the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) and co-author of ACG and multisociety national guidelines for CRC Screening.

Call Before you dig Staying away from utility lines while you dig is now as easy as 8-1-1. This new nationwide number now in effect replaces the 62 separate Miss Utility (underground utility locating services) phone numbers now in use across the country. The rules remain the same for homeowners or professionals who plan on digging. Whether it's a homeowner putting in a bush or building a fence or a contractor doing some major work, by law, the underground utility locating service must be called at least two-days in advance. "The only change is the phone number," says John Allen, Delmarva Power vice president. "This is a free service, and well worth it when a quick phone call to 811 will help you avoid hitting utility lines, including natural gas lines." Calling 811 before digging will help avoid fines and angry neighbors if a hit line cuts off electric or gas service. But, more importantly, knowing where it's safe to dig will avoid an accident that could result in injury or death. "Now calling before you dig is easy. There are no long phone numbers to track down or remember, and those numbers don't change when you move from one location to another," said Allen. "Simply dialing 811 will bring someone to your home or business to mark all underground utilities so you will be able to dig safely, because safe digging is everyone's responsibility."

Two incumbents unseated
Seaford City Council Highlights By Lynn R. Parks THE LAWRENCE - The historic property known as Lawrence is now a part of the city of Seaford. While only 28 city residents voted in Monday’s public referendum on the annexation request, that vote was overwhelmingly in favor of annexation, 20 to 8. Owners Gary and Joy Hill requested that the five-acre property be annexed with a light commercial zoning. The property is slowly being surrounded by development: The Herring Run Professional Park is going in to the north and Lawrence Crossing, a 355-unit condo and townhouse, is planned for 56 acres around the property. The dilapidated 19th-century mansion that is on the property is one of only two examples of Greek architecture in the state and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The frame house, which was built in 1840 by Charles Wright, an area shipper and trader, for his new wife, Eliza Ann Mastin, was in good shape in the late 1970s, with much of its original trim intact, according to the application to become part of the register. The house was placed on the register in recognition of its unusual architecture. The historic register application’s statement of significance regarding the house says that it is built in a temple form, with elements of Classical Greek architecture. “The temple form is unusual in Delaware, even for public buildings,” the application adds.
Placement on the national register does not protect the house from renovation or demolition. What it does mean is that if any project using federal funds is planned for the area around the property, a study must be completed to determine that the project is not damaging the property. TAX APPEALS - The city of Seaford will hold its annual tax appeals night Tuesday, June 12. Property holders who disagree with their 2008 tax bills, set to be sent out soon, will be able to make their pitch to have the bills changed. Appeals will be heard from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the city council chambers in city hall. For information, call the city, 6299173. ANNEXATION - A public vote on annexation into the city of Seaford of two properties on Tharp Road east of Wal-Mart will be Monday, June 4, 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Circle J Developers are requesting that the two parcels, totaling about 1.8 acres, be annexed with C-2 zoning, for light commercial development. A public hearing on the request was held during the April 24 city council meeting. Circle J is the company that is developing Gallery Pointe, a 450-home community slated for property behind Wal-Mart. Gallery Pointe, expected to take about 10 years to complete, is planned to include single-family homes, duplexes, apartments and a club house, as well as a commercial
area. Final plans for the development still have to come before the city council. AERIAL TRUCK - The city of Seaford is buying a new aerial truck for its electric department. The 2008 F-750 Ford XLT will cost $139,000, minus $6,000 for a trade-in of an old city truck. The city will take out a four-year loan to pay for the truck. Payments on the loan will start with the 2008 budget. The truck is being purchased from Altec Industries, a Birmingham, Ala.,based firm that supplies electric utility equipment. Delivery of the truck will take up to 300 days. CLEAN-UP WEEK - The city of Seaford will hold its annual clean-up week next week, May 14 through May 18. City crews will pick up items left along the curb according to the following schedule: Monday, May 14 – areas east of Front Street Tuesday, May 15 – Front Street to the railroad, including Virginia Commons, Wilmar Village and Hurley Heights Wednesday, May 16 – the railroad to Nylon Boulevard Thursday, May 17 – Martin Farms, Westview and Parsons Village Friday, May 18 – Woodside Manor Crews will not pick up any items that contain Freon. For more information, call the city, 629-9173.
Delaware State Fair tickets
The 88th Annual Delaware Sate Fair will showcase an All Star Line-up when the fair opens its doors July 19-28. This year the Fair has unveiled a new website, promising to make online ticket purchases more convenient. The Fair wants to remind anyone buying Wilmington Trust Grandstand concert tickets, that they must also purchase a gate admission pass to enter the fairgrounds. Tickets will also be available for discounted advance gate admission and carnival ride tickets. Ticket sales via the mail, phone and walk-ups will be available beginning May 14. Online sales are already available. According to the Fair’s general manager, Dennis Hazzard, “We have successfully created a new Delaware State Fair website that will offer visitors easy access to important Fair information. Over the past few months, we have focused our efforts on instant information, and we feel our new online ticket sales provide just that. We continue to make huge strides in our technological systems.” Hazzard added, “We continue to see new trends every year with the online purchasing option, and we feel the Fair is keeping up with the changing times. The Fair opens Thursday, July 19 with “Free Preview Night.” Visitors can take advantage of the free gate admission and experience the fair first hand. The fair emphasizes that online access is the best way to get tickets. Visit the fair’s website www.Delaware StateFair.com.

Delmar Commons holds grand opening ceremonies
Childhood obesity and diabetes discussion At the April 18 meeting of Soroptimist International of Seaford , Peggy Geisler of Nemours Health and Prevention Services spoke to the club about childhood obesity and diabetes. According to Geisler, these health issues are occurring much earlier in a person’s life than used to be the case. This could lead to a national health care Peggy Geisler crisis. In an attempt to spread this message, Nemours has expanded its media exposure, particularly with the commercials promoting its 5-2-1 Almost None campaign. This encourages children to eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables,
watch two or fewer hours of television and to get at least one hour of physical activity every day. The campaign also encourages kids to consume almost no sugary beverages. Geisler pointed out some surprising health facts. “One twenty-ounce bottle of soda contains a half-cup of sugar,” Geisler said. “You’d have to bike for about one hour to burn off all the calories in that soda.” Geisler stressed that parents need to be educated about these health issues as well, since they are the primary providers of products that could lead to health problems with their children. “Kids do not earn the income or buy the food,” Geisler said. “We must educate parents, too.” Nemours is carrying this message to schools, daycare centers, and various health sectors. “Wherever there are children and parents of children, we are there,” said Geisler.

21st Annual Greenwood Spring Festival set for Saturday, June 2 The Greenwood Mennonite School in Greenwood, is celebrating its 79th anniversary this year and the return of the popular Greenwood Spring Festival is designed to ensure the school has many more years in its future. This "rain or shine" event has become well respected in the community for its family fun and entertainment. Greenwood Mennonite is the oldest, continuously operating Mennonite elementary school in America. Once just an elementary school, G.M.S. now offers classes for students from kindergarten through 12th grade and has an enrollment of around 280 students. Since it receives minimal federal and state funding, the school relies on a variety of creative events to help offset the costs of tuition for its families. One of the largest of those fundraisers is the Greenwood Spring Festival, returning for its 21st year on Saturday, June 2. The festival begins with an all-you-can-eat Breakfast from 7 to 9 a.m. It features pancakes, sausage, sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, juice, and coffee and is just $7 for adults, and $3 for children ages 2-10.
A Car Show will also be featured this year, along with Antique tractors, softball or basketball tournaments, the popular Spring Festival Auction, and helicopter rides. The booths open at 9 a.m. and are open until 4:30 p.m. Food booths include baked goods, chicken barbecue, pork barbecue, milkshakes, homemade doughnuts, hamburgers, French-fries,
fruit smoothies, seafood, strawberries, strawberry pie, and homemade ice cream. Exhibits and events include children's games and rides, a petting zoo, an antique-tractor-run, ice-cream machine, crafts, handcrafted items, books, plants, garden décor, a quilting demonstration and a white elephant booth. Entertainment on the main stage will feature a variety of
music from local musicians, young and old alike. One of the most popular events, the Spring Festival Auction, begins at noon. If you are interested in donating an item for the auction, contact Jay Embleton at 337-3567. In observance of the 21st anniversary of the Greenwood Spring Festival, a limited number of baskets have been produced by
the American Traditions Basket Company and they will be on sale at the festival. The Greenwood Spring festival is held on the grounds of the Greenwood Mennonite School, on Mennonite School Road, just off Rts. 16 and 36, east of Greenwood. For more information contact Curtis Yoder at 629-4084. The festival and parking are free.

Classic ‘Silver’ is 25 years old It’s the culinary equivalent of looking through your high school yearbook. That’s how Seattle Times food writer and babyboomer Nancy Leson feels when she pages through her old Silver Palate Cookbook. It’s hard to believe that “Silver” is silver — the 25th anniversary edition is now in stores. Co-authors Sheila Lukins and Julee Rosso, a caterer and an advertising executive respectively, began the whole silver movement when they opened a tiny shop on New York’s Columbus Avenue in 1977 and named it “The Silver Palate.” Providing gourmet ingredients and prepared foods made from scratch filled a void for the modern woman in that post-women’s movement era. The newsletter that they provided customers became the basis of their cookbook published in time for Mother’s Day in 1982. The anniversary edition is updated with new ingredient information and color photos, but most of the recipes are exactly the same, a testament to how well this cookbook has held up over the years. Christine Muhlke, writing in the New York Times, says that many of the Silver Palate recipes “have become part of the cooking vernacular.” I couldn’t agree more. Who can forget the Linguine with Tomatoes and Basil made with a pound of brie? Leson’s comment on this recipe says it all: “Ooooh, baby.” The fabled Chicken Marbella has been my personal “go-to” recipe for years. I thank the “girls” for the gift of the fabulous Silver Palate. If you don’t have it in your home, give yourself a gift and get one. Chicken Marbella Serves 6 1⁄2 cup olive oil 1⁄2 cup red wine vinegar 1 cup pitted prunes 1⁄2 cup pitted Spanish green olives 1⁄2 cup capers, with a bit of juice 6 bay leaves 1 head of garlic, peeled and puréed 1⁄2 cup fresh oregano, chopped, or 1⁄4 cup dried oregano Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 chickens, 3 and 1⁄2 to 4 pounds each, quartered 1 cup dry white wine 1 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, vinegar, prunes, olives, capers and juice, bay leaves, garlic, oregano, and salt and

pepper to taste. Add the chicken pieces and turn to coat. Refrigerate overnight. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a shallow roasting pan; spoon the marinade over it evenly. Pour in the wine and sprinkle the chicken with the brown sugar. Bake until the thigh pieces yield clear yellow juice when pricked with a fork, 50 to 60 minutes, basting two or three times with the pan juices once the chicken begins to brown. (When basting, do not brush off the sugar. If the chicken browns too quickly, cover lightly with foil.) Transfer the chicken pieces to a warm serving platter and top with the prunes, olives and capers; keep warm. Place the roasting pan over medium heat and bring the pan juices to a boil.

Kindness makes a difference By the Rev. Todd K. Crofford Laurel Wesleyan Church
PASTOR’S PERSPECTIVE
Ever wonder what kind of difference you can make on this earth? Have you ever looked at the sheer volume of evil and pain and thought you can’t combat that with goodness? Think again. I just returned from a trip to the Dominican Republic along with 19 others where we worked on constructing a roof for a church and gave out shoes and medicine throughout the country. On the second day, the women of our group were sorting the hundreds of pairs of shoes that had been donated for the trip. The maid from the hotel walked in and her eyes got big as saucers when she saw shoes literally covering the beds, the floor, the desks, and everything else. When she asked what we were doing, one of the women told her in Spanish that we were delivering shoes for needy children and adults. Hesitantly she asked if there was any chance she could get some for her own children. She desperately wanted her children to be able to go to school, but they couldn’t go without shoes, and on her salary she could barely afford to put food on the table. The next day, with tears in her eyes, she received not only shoes, but a Bible in Spanish that she asked for as well. Before the day was over, she went home with a Bible, shoes, and an introduction to a savior named Jesus who loves her very much. I got to thinking about what a small thing the actions were on our part, but what a world changing event they were for her. Someone here in the United States cleared their closet, or went to the store and spent some money on a pair of shoes. A willing volunteer from our church spent the time and money to make the trip to bring the shoes. Weary travelers loaded 18 extra bags in and out of vehicle after vehicle to get them all there.
A little act of kindness by one, a lifealtering difference for another. In the end, each of these were small acts of kindness and love on our part, but somewhere today in the Dominican Republic a little boy and a little girl are headed to school in a brand new pair of shoes. A little act of kindness by one… a life-altering difference for another. We can never know in advance when we do something kind just how much of an impact we make. It’s the law of chain-reaction. Maybe the child grows up to be a great leader, benefiting from their education. Maybe they discover a cure for Parkinsons. Maybe their access to education lands them in college where they meet their mate and together birth the next President for the nation. Impossible? Hardly. Usually, the positive result of our simple kind action is never seen or known by the doer of the good deed. But our objective is not to see the result so much as it is to be faithful. God instructs us, “You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.” –II Corinthians 9:11 Your act of kindness may be of the simplest nature… allowing someone else right-of-way on the road, paying for your discouraged co-workers lunch, a card to a sick neighbor. Ask God to guide your actions and to give you the right spirit as you really do make a difference by shedding light in a sometimes gloomy world.

My mom is special because she buys me a lot of stuff and she loves me a lot. She takes care of me when I’m sick. She loves me a lot and she plays cards with me and she is a very nice mom to me. She takes me to the park and whenever I need help with my home work she helps me and she helps me with dance class. Brittny Alexis Hurd from Bridgeville
Happy Mother’s Day. My mommy’s name is Opal Lee and I think she is the greatest mommy in the world. Whenever I am not feeling well, she always finds a way to comfort me and make me feel better. Even though she has a hard job, she always finds time to go to all my school functions and all my sporting events. She also takes the time to show me all her love and affection. Any little girl in this world would be lucky to have a Mommy like mine. Kortney Lee from Laurel Happy Mother’s Day For as long as I can remember, and for many years to come, I’ve always, and will always thank God for gifting me with a loving and caring person that I call Mom. My mother, Paula Drown, is so special to me in so many ways that I can’t fit all of the wonderful and most grateful things that she does for me, as well as for so many other people, into this special essay. But I will give four of the many, many things why my mom is special to me. She’s always there, whenever I need her. If I somehow become sick and bed-bound, she’s always there by my side. Nurturing and tending to my every need with a smile on her face and with a whole lot of endless love to make sure I have a full recovery. Another is that she always gives the best advice and is always guiding me through life’s glitches and hardships that I couldn’t go through by myself without her help. Also, she shows so much compassion towards life and nature that whenever we are outside she’s always complimenting God’s natural wonders and beauties. Whether it’s from Lily of the Valley to Gardenias. She always can name all of God’s artful plants that I either have never heard of, or couldn’t pronounce. Therefore, she’s always having and expressing ideas and thoughts toward me and others that are very helpful and sometimes even beneficial in our lives. So mom, after you have read this, I would like to say that these are some of the many special reasons why I think you’re so special. I appreciate what you do, and what you always will do throughout my life for me. Hope you have a wonderful and Happy Mother’s Day, and hope it fills your day with endless happiness and love. Love your son, Scooter, Alex Drown from Laurel
Happy MotherÕs Day My Mom is 96 years old. She has Alzheimers. Her name is Pauline Hearn. She has lived with me for the last 5 years. I have tried to give her the quality of life she deserves because she gave so generously of herself while I was growing up. There are times she does not know who I am due to advancement of disease. It hurts deeply, but she is my mom and I love her dearly. She always told me to do my very best, work hard and treat people the way you would want them to treat you. I have made mistakes but my mom always forgave me. I hope that my mom will be proud of the way I have tried to live my life. She always said life is not fair, but you have to make the best of it. Betty H. Graham from Milford

On May 1, information linking Joseph to the attempted abduction was turned over to the Laurel School Resource Officer and the Laurel Police Department. The information was immediately distributed to all officers in the area. On Wednesday, May 2, an officer conducting crossing guard duty on South Central Ave. observed the suspect's vehicle. The vehicle was stopped and Joseph was detained and interviewed about the incident on April 24. Joseph admitted that he had attempted to pick up the female victim while she was walking to school.

Delaware State Police, with the assistance of the Harrington Police Department, have arrested the former finance director for the City of Harrington for allegedly stealing approximately $547,543 from the city. The finance director’s daughter and son-in-law have also been charged in connection with the alleged crime. Christine H. Truitt, 47, of Main Street Farmington, was arrested May 3 and charged with 154 counts of forgery 2nd degree, 77 counts of theft by false pretense and one count of conspiracy. Truitt's daughter, Nina Grimes, 27, and son-in-law, Shaun Grimes, 29, were both arrested on May 4 and charged with the same offenses. All three suspects live in the same home. City officials were in the process of an audit and discovered the alleged thefts after Truitt resigned on April 20. Overdraft notices from Wilmington Trust were located on her desk showing the accounts payable account as overdrawn. City officials were then contacted by Wilmington Trust about an overdraft in this account. Once it was determined that the alleged thefts had occurred, city officials contacted the state police on May 3. Detectives determined that the alleged thefts began sometime around February 2006. During this time, Truitt allegedly wrote checks to herself and the other suspects from the city's accounts payable account. In order to write these checks, Truitt had to forge the mayor and vice-mayor's signatures. The suspects then allegedly used the proceeds from these checks to purchase vehicles, TV's, computers, entertainment system, RV, and other miscellaneous items. They also used the money to make home improvements and to take trips. Detectives conducted a search of the suspect's home and seized TV's, jewelry, computer equipment, miscellaneous property and six weapons. Detectives seized two motorcycles, a 2001 Lincoln Navigator, a 2005 Toyota Prius, a 2006 Chrysler Sebring and a 1986 Winnebago. All three suspects have been released on $232,000 unsecured bonds pending preliminary hearings. The City of Harrington has contacted the State Auditor's office for assistance with the investigation.
Fraud suspect may have victimized others At the end of March, the Delaware State Police Financial Crimes Unit began investigating a theft and forgery case for Royal Systems Company of N.Y. who had contracted with Joseph, Phillips, and Gray, a collections agency in Dover, to collect a debt for them from a N.J. company. The Dover collections agency, solely owned and operated by Kevin B. Sirman, 53, of Camden, received a partial payment of the New Jersey company's debt in the amount of $1,500 on November 20, 2006. Sirman deposited the check, which was the property of Royal Systems, into his own business account at Wilmington Trust in Bear. Sirman then allegedly manufactured three additional checks, similar to the first check from the New Jersey company, depositing an additional $4,500 into his account at Wilmington Trust. Detectives discovered that Joseph, Phillips, and Gray are fictitious names, with Sirman being the sole employee of the company. Sirman was arrested at Troop 2 on May 1 and has been charged with 2 counts of felony theft, and three counts of forgery 2nd (f). Defendant Sirman was released on unsecured bond pending future court proceedings. Anyone who feels the defendant or the company of Joseph, Phillips and Gray has victimized them should contact their financial institution. Their bank will work with state troopers.
Teen injured when roof collapses A 17-year-old male from the Harbeson area was injured May 6 when the roof of a single story abandoned house, located south of Rte. 9 and west of Harbeson, collapsed on him. The teenager and a 16-year-old friend use the house as a “hang out” and when they arrived on the afternoon of May 6, they discovered some walls were damaged. In an attempt to cleanup the area, the teens began removing some of the cinderblocks. As the 17-year old threw one of the cinderblocks out a door, it struck the door frame and caused the roof to collapse on him. The 16-year-old, who was outside, then called 911 on his cell phone. The Georgetown Fire Department and Sussex County paramedics, with the assistance of the Milton Fire Department, responded to the scene and were able to free the teen from the structure after stabilizing it. The teen was then flown by state police helicopter to Christiana Hospital where he was admitted with a broken pelvis and leg.
Helicopter rescues three from boat A Delaware State Police helicopter rescued a man, woman, and 4-year old girl from a small boat on May 5 after it became stuck in mud off of Woodland Beach. At approximately 6:30 p.m., Trooper 4 responded to the area of the mudflats to assist DNREC with a boat that was stuck at that location. DNREC officials were unable to reach the boat, and with dropping temperatures and rain, they contacted state police for assistance.

‘It’s almost a sin, what we have done to the soil’ Continued from page 2
say, means giving their cattle nothing to eat but grass and, in the winter when the pasture gets low, hay that was taken from the pasture during the summer. It means no chemicals, no fertilizers (other than what the cattle deposit there) and no pesticides on that pasture. “It is almost a sin, what we have done to the soil with some of our farming practices,” Carlton said. “I am no authority, but I can see. And I know that after I stopped using pesticides on the land, we had an earthworm population explosion out here.” Doing the right thing also means administering no antibiotics or hormones to the cattle. Other than a shot to prevent infection in young steer after they are castrated, “we don’t use a single needle on this farm,” Carlton said. And it means no grains for feed, even in the few weeks before slaughter when many beef farmers like to fatten up the steer with corn. “The good Lord didn’t put that wide mouth on cattle for them to eat corn,” Carlton said. “Chickens can eat corn with their little beaks. Cattle are foraging animals, meant to eat grass.” Feeding a steer nothing but grass is not a quick way to get them to market. Cattle that are fed grain, especially corn, gain weight more quickly, particularly when they are given hormones to increase their appetites and when they are confined by the thousands in feed lots, where there is nothing to do but eat. Jones’ cattle are ready for slaughter in about two years; it was three years after he started his beef operation before any steer were ready for slaughter.
Health benefits for consumers But that wait is well worth it, the Joneses say, because the meat that comes from an all-grass-fed steer is so much healthier than that that comes from a steer that had grain to eat. “The most important benefit of all from cattle that is not grain fed is the omega-3 fatty acid,” Carlton said. Omega3 fat, which is found in high levels in certain fish, has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Indeed, research confirms Carlton’s statement that there are health benefits to eating grass-fed beef over grain-fed beef. In a 2004 study, researchers at Purdue University in Indiana found that the mixture of fats in grass-fed beef helps to “lower cholesterol and reduce other chronic disease risk.”
For your information: C&J Farms is located at 3174 Woodland Ferry Road, near Reliance. For information about visiting the farm or buying its beef, call 629-8194. “We both were having our battles with cholesterol,” Carlton said. Since they have been eating their own beef, both his and Jody’s cholesterol numbers have gone down, he added. Last year, the Union of Concerned Scientists issued a report that urged consumers to eat grass-fed beef. The organization compiled 25 studies conducted worldwide and found that they all “confirm that beef from animals raised entirely on pasture have higher levels than conventionally raised beef of beneficial fats that may prevent heart disease and strengthen the immune system,” the report said. “Grass-fed meat is often leaner than most supermarket beef and raising cattle on grass can reduce water pollution and the risk of antibiotic-resistant diseases,” the report continued. “There are no losers in producing cattle entirely on pasture,” said report author Dr. Kate Clancy, a nutritionist and senior scientist in the Food and Environment Program with the Union of Concerned Scientists. “Farmers win, consumers win, the environment wins and even the cattle win.” The report, “Greener Pastures: How Grass-Fed Beef and Milk Contribute to Healthy Eating,” confirmed the Purdue finding that grass-fed beef contains higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids. The beef is also higher in CLA, a fatty acid thought to protect against cancer, the report said. Even partially replacing grass with grain can reduce the beneficial acids, the report added. Cattle that are pasture fed are healthier and consequently need fewer antibiotics, the report continued. Even though the Jones cattle are outside all the time, with only windbreaks for shelter from the cold, “we have no problems with any of them getting sick,” Carlton said. As for the environment, thousands of cattle jammed into feed lots generate tons and tons of manure, runoff from which can harm waterways and drinking wells. “Pasture-raised cattle fertilize land with their manure in amounts that the soil can safely absorb,” the report said. “The grass is truly greener when it comes to grass-fed beef,” Clancy concluded.
their 200-acre Reliance-area farm for 40 years. Until they started their grass-fed beef operation, they were conventional farmers, raising green beans and sweet corn and using pesticides and chemical fertilizers in the process. “We were getting the same prices for beans and corn that we had always gotten, but our chemical prices kept going up,” Jody said. “My farming operation was costing me money,” her husband added. “I didn’t have enough acreage to produce the volume of product you need to today. I knew that if I was going to stay in farming, I had to do something different.” He picked up a book by organic farmer Joel Salatin, whose works include “Salad Bar Beef” and “You Can Farm.” “He made it plain that you can do this if you are willing to work,” Carlton said. “You have to be willing to go back to the basics.” In the spring of 2003, Carlton planted his land in pastures and invested in the fences, permanent and temporary, that he needed. That same year, he bought 17 Black Angus heifers, most of which were already carrying calves. The nearly 60 cattle that he has now came from that first herd. The farm has one bull, a 2-year-old stud that Carlton bought in Colorado. Carlton takes his cattle to the West Dover Butcher Shop, Dover, to be slaughtered. He transports them two at a time and always the evening before the slaughter is scheduled. “I want them to stay calm,” he said. At the butcher shop, the meat is cut up, wrapped and vacuum sealed. From their
Cattle stats According to Chris Cadwallader, director of Delaware Ag Statistics, Delaware has 230 beef cattle operations. Of those, 107 have 10 or more head of cattle. The state does not keep track of the number of all-natural or all-grass-fed operations. None of the state’s beef farms is registered organic. home, the Joneses sell the frozen meat, in 30-pound sample packs, as quarter steers or as half steers. Also available are packages of ground beef and individual roasts. Despite the fact that its owners don’t use chemicals, the Jones farm is not certified organic. While he could command a higher price for his beef were it certified organic, Carlton Jones said that that would not totally offset the increased costs for the paperwork and inspections required for federal organic certification. As for the future, Carlton said that his biggest job is educating people about the benefits of organic farming and grass-fed beef. “I feel like I am working for the Lord a little bit,” he said. “We are doing our best to be helpful to people. “I won’t get rich doing this,” he added. “I am not going to do this and be the largest landowner in Sussex County, or be a millionaire. I may even go broke doing this. But this is my contribution to people’s health, and I take a lot of satisfaction in that. “I believe it is worth it to be able to have the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping the situation, and not adding to the problem of the situation.”

For the first time ever, the Delaware Technical & Community College, Owens Campus, golf team will be sending a team to the Region 19 golf tournament later this month in New Jersey. The Roadrunners finished in sixth place in the Garden State Athletic Conference tournament on May 2-3 in northern New Jersey, qualifying them for the regional tournament for the first time in the program’s six years. “We had our worst tournament of the year, but we finished in sixth place which was good enough to move on,” said coach Tom Jackson. “This is the first time Delaware Tech has ever entered a team into the regional tournament so we’re very excited about that. I’m just really happy to be a part of it. This is a very big deal for the college.” Travis Ralph led the Roadrunners with a score of 81 in the tournament, followed by Jesse Kitchen with an 84, Ryan Kauffman with an 85 and Kevin Zuill with an 87. Jackson feels his top three golfers all have a realistic shot of finishing in the top five in the regional tournament, a feat that would qualify them individually for the national tournament, to be held June 3-10 in upstate New York. Last week’s results continued an impressive run for the program in what is turning into a breakout year. Delaware Tech has finished second in three tournaments this season. If they do so again in the regional match, they’ll move on and play in June.

Seaford Stars of the Week

Little League boards must institute pitch count, not innings to protect league hurlers Last October, in my column, Why Did It Take 67 Years To Institute A Pitch Count?, I asked that question after the Board of Directors for Little League Baseball, located in Williamsport, Pa., announced that starting in 2007 a strict pitch count would be in place to protect young pitching arms. The time has arrived for those guidelines to be implemented starting with the first official pitch this season and the hope is that pitchers at many different levels will not injure their arms for future play. Another outcome of this new rule should also have a positive effect on team play. Now each manager must train additional players to pitch, which should re-arrange field positions and add more playing time for non-starters. At the local level, Nanticoke Little League President Mike Smith welcomes the idea. “We have piloted the new rule in our own league with no problems and will implement it this season,” he said. “The coaches will get used to it, change takes time, but we don’t want a pitchers career to be over at age 11. When we get into allstar play, the coach’s strategy will change because when a pitcher reaches his pitch limit, he will need three days rest. It will certainly have an impact on tournament play.” Long time coach, board member and current umpire Alan Quillen also agrees. “With the baseball programs available today, a youth player could be playing school ball, travel ball, little league and little league tournaments and possibly have four different coaches. Who is looking out for the well being of the child?” “Little league has taken the first step for the well being of the child and hopefully the other programs will model after the little league program. This does change how coaches will manage. They will have to use different strategies during a game, plan a pitching rotation, search for more talent to develop as pitchers and give more players the opportunity to pitch,” he
stressed. As former, little league, high school and middle school coach, this reporter agrees that little league finally took the first step, but why did it take 67 years? Blue Jay Notebook: * Quick glance: Maximum pitches per day, ages 17-18 -105; ages 13-16- 95; ages 11-12- 85; ages 10 and under- 75 pitches per day. Days of rest will be calculated by the total number of pitches per day. Example: If a 12-year-old pitcher throws between 41-60 pitches in a game, then he is required to have two days rest. If he throws 61- 85, he will need three days rest. He must leave the game, regardless of the inning or score, when he reaches 85 pitches. (He may finish the current batter, if he reaches the maximum). *Oregon pitcher Jace Fry threw 116 pitches in a tournament game at Williamsport last year during World Series play. * MLB.com reported that a Columbus, Ga., coach allowed his son to throw 190 pitches in regular season game last year. Around the Horn: *The New York City Council recently passed a bill outlawing metal bats in high school games. Legislators are looking at the possibilities of extending that new bill to all levels of baseball including little league. *Little League Baseball is beginning a five-year study on the effect of breaking pitches on youth arms through the University of North Carolina. They will follow the career of 200 young pitchers. * I wonder if it will take 67 more years to make a decision about metal bats and curve balls? Email update: Information was omitted from the recent announcement that Claire Rekitzke’s York College Spartans field hockey team and Leslie Messick’s Eastern University Eagles team were one and two in GPA (Grade Point Average) in Pennsylvania. Their teams were also one and two in the United States for Division III College teams.

Seaford varsity baseball and softball teams lose to Milford By Gene Bleile Last Friday, the Milford Buccaneers’ bus rolled into Seaford and unloaded their girls team at the softball field and then the boys team at the Jays field. Two and a half hours later they both loaded up again and neither team had given up a run in their games. The Blue Jays could only manage two hits all afternoon against Milford pitcher Jordan Elliot. Losing pitcher Paul Widerman singled in the first inning and second baseman, Kyle Shockley singled in the fifth to give the Jays (10-6 overall 6-4 conference) their only offense of the afternoon. Hitting with runners on base and total hits per game have plagued the Jays consistently for the past few weeks and since beating Woodbridge they have now dropped three straight Seaford’s Zack Reynolds swings at games. The Bucs scored three runs in the first a curve ball against the Bucs. Milford’s pitcher Jordan Elliot struck on a combination of two hit batters, a stolen base and two hits; a double and a single. They out four Blue Jays, while throwing a two-hitter. Photo by Gene Bleile added two more in the top of the sixth on a Seaford error, a walk and a base hit to shut the door at 5-0. Widerman took the loss for the Jays, striking out two and only giving up two walks, but Seaford committed two costly errors in the game. The Lady Jays also ran into trouble across the street, when Milford pitcher Chelsea Walls pitched a one-hitter, struck out two and didn’t walk a batter in a complete game effort. Heather Draper pitched a four-hitter, but took the loss. Jenna Adkins had the only hit for Seaford. The Lady Bucs scored two in the first on a hit and Seaford error and added four more in the fourth to push their lead to 6-0. The Jays (8-6, 7-5) couldn’t rally in the last three innings. It was another disappointing loss for head coach Dave Rogers. “We seemed to start flat,” he said. “We lost a tough game to Sussex Central earlier in the week and emotionally I think we were still drained. We couldn’t get anything started. We hit a lot of shots, but they were right at somebody all day.”

Late rally earns Bulldogs a 7-4 victory over Woodbridge By Pat Murphy The Laurel Bulldogs spotted the visiting Woodbridge Raiders four third inning runs but came back with three runs in the third and fifth innings and one in the sixth to defeat the Raiders, 7-4, last Wednesday. Laurel starter Taylor Jones had a route going performance to earn the win. Jones allowed nine hits and four runs, all earned. He struck out eight and walked only one hitter. Derek Nennstiehl took the loss, allowing seven runs, all earned, while surrendering nine hits. The Raiders took a 4-0 lead in the third inning. Anthony Gamba doubled, followed by singles by Dustin Richards, Micah Idler, and Nennstiehl. With two outs and two on T.J. Jefferson singled to score the last two runs of the inning. Idler and Nennstiehl also had runs batted in with their hits. In the bottom of the third, Laurel hitters Antwon Trimball and Ethan Callaway both reached as they were plunked by Nennstiehl. David Bartee laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt putting both runners in scoring position for leadoff hitter Lance Kelley. Kelley promptly lined a single up the middle scoring both runners. Kelley took second on the throw in and was driven in on Matt Parker’s double which ended the scoring. Jones settled down, allowing the Raiders just three singles from the fourth

Delmar baseball team moves to 8-7 with a pair of wins By Mike McClure The Delmar varsity baseball team got a pair of solid outings from its starting pitchers in wins over Smyrna and Wicomico High last week. The Wildcats moved to 8-7 overall with the victories. “When they (pitchers) get on the hill and have confidence the rest of the team has confidence,� Delmar head coach David Hearn said following his team’s 9-0 win over Smyrna last Thursday. Delmar scored four runs on five hits in the first inning of Thursday’s home game against the Eagles. Matt Campbell singled, David Pollitt was hit by a pitch, and Jordan Johnson hit a three-run home run. Mark Timmons also singled and scored a run following singles by Joe Pete and Alan Preston. Dylan Shupe singled and scored a run in the second inning to make it 5-0. Drew Merrill (fielder’s choice), Campbell (double), and Shupe (single) each scored a run and Pollitt tripled in the fifth. Timmons tripled and scored on a wild
pitch in the bottom of the sixth inning to make the score 9-0. Merrill came on for Campbell in the top of the seventh and kept the shutout intact, allowing one hit and striking out one. Hearn was pleased with his team’s effort in the game which included no bad innings for the Wildcats. Campbell went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs, and a walk and allowed three hits and no runs while striking out eight in six innings for the win. Shupe batted 2for-4 with two runs; Pollitt tripled and scored a run; Johnson hit 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBIs; Timmons went 3-for-4 with a triple and two runs; and Preston hit 2-for-4. Delmar (8-7, 3-7) picked up a non-conference win over Wicomico on Friday with a 9-3 victory. The Wildcats scored nine runs on eight hits with Johnson going 2-for-4 with a double and three RBIs.

Delaware Tech baseball team eliminated in regionals A successful season for the Delaware Tech, Owens Campus, baseball team came to an end on Sunday, May 6, at the Region 19 tournament in Salem, N.J. Delaware Tech defeated Salem Community College twice but fell two times to their rivals from Lackawanna, 4-1 and 17-7, to fall short of the district finals. “We went into the tournament on a high note and as the top seed, but I guess it just wasn’t meant to be,” said a disappointed Delaware Tech head coach Curtis Brock. “Our competitive edge just wasn’t there. The two week layoff prior to the playoffs didn’t help, but we’re not going to use that as an excuse. You just can’t afford to have a bad weekend in the playoffs, and that’s exactly what we did.” The Roadrunners finished the season with a record of 33-8, one of the most successful regular seasons in Owens Campus history. But their failure in the postseason has Brock looking forward to next year and yet another chance to return to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) World Series. “I’m extremely disappointed with the way the season ended, but baseball is a funny game and you just can’t afford to have a bad run in the postseason,” Brock said. “We had a very good year, but it was certainly a bad ending. We just have to pick up the pieces and start over again next year.” Lackawanna will move on to the district tournament in New York with a chance to move on to the World Series. The Owens Campus team won the NJCAA Division II World Series title in 2001.

Education Department of Education works to motivate students with campaign and Web site Can I find a job that I love? Can I get into college? Can I find money for college? These are just a few of the questions high school students ask as they look to the future and wonder if, and how, they can achieve their dreams for careers or college. “Yes You Can!” is the answer coming from the Department of Education (DOE), which launched a campaign by that name at its Student Success Summit in Dover today. Developed with input from students, parents, teachers, college professors and employers, the “Yes You Can!” campaign supports DOE’s Reaching Higher for Student Success initiative to ensure that Delaware students graduate prepared for success in college, work and life. It will feature an interactive Web site, posters, and other communication tools to motivate and assist students as they plan for the workplace or college. “Through this campaign, we’re giving students the encouragement they need to think about their future and go for it,” said education secretary Valerie Woodruff. “We’re inviting them to open a door to the possibilities. Find out about career and college options. Get excited about life after high school and realize that they can be successful. There’s a whole world of opportunity out there and we’re here to help them explore it.” The new Web site, www.yesyoucande. com, will offer a variety of career and college planning resources, including Delaware job information, resume sam-
ples, career exploration, education and training opportunities, links to Delaware’s colleges and universities, online applications, scholarship and financial aid information and a section for parents. New information and resources will be added to the Web site on an ongoing basis. A series of “Yes You Can!” posters to be displayed in Delaware public high schools show students imagining their dream jobs, and direct them to the Web site to find out more. The tagline is: “It’s Your Future! Go for it!” Other aspects of the campaign will include a “What’s Your Dream Job?” video promotion, and a MySpace site for Delaware high school students and alumni to participate in a dialogue about life after high school. “We gathered a lot of input from students about what kind of messages would motivate them, and how they want to receive information,” said Woodruff. “This campaign is all about engaging students and offering them the support and resources they need to be successful adults.” The campaign will also include outreach activities to get parents, teachers, educators and the business community involved in the effort. Reaching Higher for Student Success and the “Yes You Can!” campaign is funded in part by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, through the National Governor’s Association’s Honor States Program. Delaware is one of 10 states to be awarded a $2 million grant.

Hispanic students, from left, Christina Stevenson, Karen Ramirez and Brenna James were honored at this year’s Hispanic Student Recognition Program.
Seaford students recognized at state awards ceremony On April 28, the Hispanic Student Recognition Program, cosponsored by the Latin American Community Center and the Governor’s Advisory Council on Hispanic Affairs, held its 21st annual awards ceremony at John M. Clayton Hall on the campus of the University of Delaware, Newark. Eight students from Seaford High School were nominated this year for awards in academics, arts, athletics, science and technology and school and community service, as well as for Hispanic Student of the Year. The nominees were Karen Ramirez, John Blakeney, Francisco Hernandez, Brenna James, Christina Stevenson, Alejandra Perez, Monserrat Celayos, and Brissa Chavez. Students not only had to be nominated for these awards, but they also had to par-
ticipate in a personal interview to be considered for an award. Karen Ramirez, a senior, was the academics award winner for Sussex County. Brenna James, a junior, was named the winner in performing arts for Sussex County, and Christina Stevenson, also a junior, was the winner for Sussex County in science and technology. All three girls received cash awards. A highlight of the ceremony was a speech by April Stevenson, a Seaford High School graduate in the class of 2006 who is now a freshman dean’s list student at the University of Delaware. April was the Female Hispanic Student of the Year for Delaware in 2006, and she shared her “words of wisdom” with this year’s nominees.
Shorebirds honor readers Sussex County students who participated in the extracurricular reading program sponsored by the Delmarva Shorebirds and Sylvan Learning Center were recognized at the Shorebirds game on May 5. “Hit the Books” is designed to link reading with a tangible reward. To qualify, students must read four books outside the classroom and record them on a special “Hit the Books” book mark between Jan. 1 and March 12. When their teachers certify they have qualified, they receive two free tickets to see a Shorebirds game with their classmates. Students from 81 area schools hit the books this school term. This weekend, the Shorebirds will honor students from Delmar Middle School, Eagle’s Nest Christian Academy, East Millsboro Elementary, Frankford Elementary, Georgetown Elementary, Greenwood Mennonite School,
H.O. Brittingham Elementary, Jefferson Elementary School, Lighthouse Christian School, Milford Middle School, Morris Early Childhood Center, North Laurel Elementary, Phillip C. Showell Elementary, Phyllis Wheatley Middle School, P.L. Dunbar Elementary, Rehoboth Elementary, Seaford Christian Academy, Seaford House Education, Seaford Middle School, Selbyville Middle School, Sussex Academy A.S., West Seaford Elementary and Woodbridge Elementary. “Hit the Books” nights are highlighted by a parade of participating students around the Shorebirds infield. Many participating schools will bring and display banners they designed themselves. The school with the best banner design will win $100 for the school library to use to acquire more books.
Representatives of national dirt track racing recently came to Sussex Technical High School to be part of a review panel for two senior STEM presentations dealing with the auto racing industry. Sussex Tech requires its senior students to do a Senior Exhibition of Mastery project to demonstrate advanced academic and technical skills through developing and presenting an integrated “exhibition of mastery.” Senior students must design a significant product in their technology using the advanced technical skills learned during their four years at Sussex Tech. In addition, the exhibition of mastery includes a related research paper and an oral presentation evaluated by a diverse committee of administrators, teachers, advisory council members and representatives from the business community.
Health professions senior Jessica James of Laurel presented a proposal that the dirt racing industry use the Hans head restraint safety device system. The STEM topic for media broadcasting senior Alison Byram of Georgetown was a documentary film she produced featuring three local race drivers.

A couple of weeks ago at the Insurance Market open house in Laurel, two or three of us talked to Alma Downes. Well, what we were actually doing was reminiscing. Alma was my fourth-grade teacher at Laurel. Alma had us laughing as she remembered the day several teachers challenged Coach Schollenberger for the use of a storage room in the school. Coach was using it to store his basketballs, footballs and other things. After much discussion, the teachers won. It got me thinking that maybe we should be recording for the future the thoughts of teachers such as Alma, Fred Fuller and others, to preserve an era of Laurel school history. I’m spending a lot of time at the Little League Park recently as most grandparents do. But I have heard many people express concern about the number of players and Thursday night was a great example of how numbers are down. There are six nice Little League fields in the park and only one game was going on. Several people have also mentioned to me that the concession stand is closed several days. I know from what I heard at opening day, that the numbers are definitely
down and to people such as me, that is a concern. Is baseball no longer America’s game, or is there just too much going on for kids to choose from? Laurel has nice fields, uniforms for the players, backing from the community and, although they have hollered for more volunteers since I can remember, I believe there should be enough. I am sure other towns are experiencing similar problems, at least so I have heard. The Laurel Citizen of the Year Banquet has been moved to June by the Chamber of Commerce. Dr. Joyce Stout is closing her practice effective July 1. Joyce, a Laurel native, sent out letters to her patients last week. Her practice is located at the Dr. Pierce Ellis Medical Center in Laurel. Here’s wishing Joyce well in her retirement. Well, my annual baseball trip is calling and I’m looking forward to another fun-filled trip. I should be back by the time you read this, but I know Dick Whaley is certainly going to miss me. See ya.

Letters Concert ‘a total gem’
The Chesapeake Silver Cornet Brass Band (top) and the Southern Delaware Choral Society, under the direction of John Ranney, performed recently at Woodbridge High School, Bridgeville.
Chorus thanks audience On behalf of the Southern Delaware Choral Society and the Chesapeake Silver Coronet Brass Band, I would like to express our appreciation to the many participants and audience members who contributed to the success of the spring concerts in Bridgeville and Rehoboth Beach on April 28 and 29. The program, “The Civil War and Beyond: a Tribute to Those Who Have Served at Home and Abroad,” was an inspirational expression of gratitude for the sacrifices made by the many veterans in attendance representing all branches of the services. We are especially grateful to the color guards supplied by the VFW Virgil Wilson Post 4961 of Seaford and the American Legion Post 28 of Oak Orchard. The several hundred audience members who stood to be recognized during the program represented men and women who have served in WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, the First Gulf War and Iraq. The logistics required to organize two concerts on opposite sides of the county, two performing groups (one out of the area), guest composer and guitarist Jeffrey Van from Minnesota, and the publicity and ticket sales, were a challenge, to say the least. In addition to all of the volunteer musicians, who put in countless hours of rehearsal, I would like to thank the Woodbridge School District staff, especially music teacher Bob Lewis, for not only organizing the use of the venue but also serving as our Civil War impersonator in the concerts. And, as always, Rehoboth Beach
city manager Greg Ferrese and his very competent staff, especially Ed Bevelaqua, made the convention center an easy performance venue. We were pleased to have been able to feature several local celebrities, composer and conductor Roo Brown of Lewes and bagpiper Henry DeWitt of Rehoboth. In addition, Scott Standiford of Lewes and Jeanie Greenaugh of Milton donated their recording and videographic services to capture the wonderful spirit of the program. What would a performance be without an appreciative audience? Thanks to the many of you who have supported the Southern Delaware Choral Society for the past 24 years and to those of you who have been supportive of all of the wonderful arts opportunities in Southern Delaware. I am constantly amazed at the steady growth of the visual and performing arts in Sussex County. This could not have happened without the financial and moral support of our wonderful audiences. The Choral Society is especially indebted to the underwriting of the Delaware Division of the Arts, the Sussex County Council, the Carl M. Freeman Foundation and the city of Lewes, as well as the excellent coverage provided by our news media. We look forward to seeing you all at our joint “Messiah” concert with the Mid-Atlantic Symphony in December 2007. Elizabeth Hochholzer Executive Director Southern Delaware Choral Society
The Southern Delaware Choral Society presentation, “The Civil War and Beyond,” was a total gem of an offering — their best by a country mile. The concert was totally entrancing, a great mix of the very best. The choice of music was wonderful, the Civil War reenactor and military color guard a great and touching tribute to our military past and present, bagpiper Henry DeWitt of Rehoboth Beach and guitarist Jeffrey Van were superb, and the Chesapeake Silver Cornet Brass Band absolutely terrific. It was one of SDCS’s finest moments. The choir was just marvelous under the leadership of gifted music director John Ranney. The talented local scholarship student soloists were a joy, as well as the extremely talented guest conductor and Lewes resident Roo Brown, who conducted her Folksong Suite. There aren’t enough superlatives in the dictionary to describe the whole experience. While Bach and Beethoven have their place, this was a performance with a much more broad and timely appeal. Kudos all around to all participants. It was absolutely superb! Bravo! Patricia A. Boyer
Thanks for support Please accept my sincere gratitude for your support and your presence at the AIG Walk for the Delaware Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. With your generous remembrance and support of me, you gave hope to every real and potential victim of the devastating effects of MS. Your support helps many of us
cope with the challenges of our daily lives, but more importantly, it gives courage to all to continue our fight for a cure. With help from friends like you, we will not wave the flag of surrender and we will overcome this disease through dedicated research made possible only by your generosity. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Kelly Griffith and family Seaford
Stacking team does well The Laurel Stacking Bulldogs extend their sincere thanks to members of the Laurel community for supporting their recent trip to Denver, Colo., to compete in the World Sport Stacking Championships. With trip expenses totaling over $500 per individual, it was important that members of the team receive the financial support from the Laurel community. The Stacking Bulldogs received financial support totaling approximately $1,200 from the following: Wilmington Trust, the Laurel Middle School Staff, North Laurel’s Principal Dr. Cristy Greaves, North Laurel Teachers Ms. Donovan, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Truitt, the Laurel Education Association, Bargain Bill’s, the Laurel Lion’s Club, Carey’s, Centenary Methodist Church and Overhead Door Inc. This was an experience of a lifetime for these girls and the Laurel community should be extremely proud of their accomplishments during their first ever World Stacking Championships. The team stacked their hearts during this competition, which included over 1,100 of the world’s best stackers! The Stack-
ing Bulldogs relay team finished in the top 10 in the world in the head-to-head 3-6-3 relay event with the team’s best time of 19.96 seconds. Sharon Hadder, a fourth-grade student at North Laurel Elementary School, finished 11th in the world in both the 3-3-3 and the 3-6-3 individual stacking events. The Stacking Bulldogs are excited about the possibility of sending another group of students to Denver in 2008 to compete against the world’s best stackers. Garrett Lydic Physical education teacher North Laurel Elementary School
Kudos to Little League The sun was shining, and the fields were ready. The excitement of the players and coaches was in the air. That is what Little League is all about. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who made opening day for Nanticoke Little League such a success. The Seaford community has given tremendously to our league. My thanks to all organizations and individuals who made generous donations to our league. Special thanks to all of those who helped with our ceremonies. Many people gave countless hours to make the final preparations for all of our players and teams. The pinnacle of the ceremonies was the recognition of the adults and players who make our league what it is. Our entire league staff deserves recognition for the work they have done with our players to help them understand what little league is about. This includes all volunteers past and present.

Military appreciation month May 2007 is National Military Appreciation Month. Since 9/11 the enemy has been engaged abroad and we have been safe from attack. In a war where we are asked to make zero sacrifices, while our war fighters and their families bear virtually all of the sacrifices, it would be more than appropriate for us, as citizens, to stop and make some gesture of tangible appreciation for the few who are doing so much for the many.

The following letter was addressed to Gary Stockbridge, president of Delmarva Power, and submitted for publication. Dear Mr. Stockbridge, Responsible planning for Delaware’s major infrastructure decisions that will so greatly impact our lives and those of future generations demands openness and accountability by governmental officials and corporate responsibility on the part of energy producers and suppliers. In that light, I was disappointed to learn of your reaction to the recommendations of the Public Service Commission’s staff report released on May 2nd which recommended that your company negotiate with both Bluewater Wind LLC and Conectiv Energy. Thursday’s News Journal attributed to you the statement that “Even if the commission votes to accept the conclusions of the report, Delmarva will refuse to negotiate,” and that “We will take any action at our disposal to prevent that.” While I understand that Delmarva believes it is not in the company’s interest or perhaps in the interests of ratepayers to add additional energy supply to the marketplace, I don’t understand a flatout refusal to negotiate. While I’m not suggesting that Delmarva be required to enter into any particular transaction, I do believe that all parties ought to demonstrate good faith consistent with the legislation which led to this process in the first place. Negotiation – simply conferring with others in order to learn whether you can come to terms or reach an agreement – doesn’t seem to be an onerous burden.
As State Treasurer with fiduciary responsibility to our taxpayers, I have stated on a number of occasions that it is critical that there be transparency in the PSC’s public process, and I have been outspoken in my views that the PSC and the other decision-making agencies strongly consider the importance of price stability, new technology, and reductions in environmental impact (especially greenhouse gas emissions). Furthermore, I have argued repeatedly that we should take a long-term view of cost-effectiveness, considering not only today’s business environment but the business environment in which these facilities will operate during their entire functioning life. I am pleased that the PSC staff report appears to be a first step toward those goals. Respecting the process and being willing to at least enter into negotiations, if that is the decision of the PSC’s next vote is an essential piece of maintaining the public’s trust. As a matter of good faith to your customers in Delaware, and as a matter of respect to our public institutions I urge you to consider the recommendations of the staff report on their merit, and to not unilaterally rule out negotiations with Bluewater Wind and Conectiv Energy, if that is the outcome of the vote by the Public Service Commission. Jack Markell

Salute to Delaware nurses “Dad’s hospice nurse was a ray of sunshine. When she’d visit, she could always bring a smile to his face and he welcomed her with open arms. The amazing thing about our nurse was her ability to make us feel as though we were her only responsibility.” C.B. On the occasion of National Nurses Week, May 6-12, I’d like to take the opportunity to publicly thank and recognize our Delaware Hospice nurses, who serve our patients each day with commitment and compassion. It takes a special kind of individual to meet the demands of a hospice nurse. Hospice care involves a holistic approach which is multidisciplinary, and a hospice nurse at any given time might need to provide medical, spiritual, emotional, social, bereavement, as well as nursing guidance. Hospice nurses are experts in symptom control and palliative care, monitor-

ing the progression of a patient’s illness and adjusting medication accordingly to provide each person and family an optimal quality of life for as long as possible. Hospice nurses are educators, teaching families what to expect, how to cope, and how to administer medications. Hospice nurses might also be asked to counsel, to listen, to pray, or even simply to hold the hand of a patient. Above all, hospice nurses offer the tender care and comfort needed for the patient and family to enjoy their most special time together. Thank you, Delaware Hospice nurses, for your energy, skills, and dedication and for the love that you share with each and every family you meet. Susan D.

The moon, and its relative distance to the Earth, affects tides on a monthly basis. When the moon is farthest from the Earth (apogee), tides of decreased range or currents of decreased speed occur. When the moon is closest to the Earth (perigee), the occurrence of increased range or currents of speed is more prevalent.
